“I am happy to see the story I presented spread all over the world, but I am also concerned by the amount of misconceptions spread.”
You’ve probably seen the story of Dindim the penguin around. It’s extremely viral.
BuzzFeed News reported on it back in February, but it randomly blew up again last week.
It’s a pretty simple story.
João Pereira De Souza, a retired bricklayer, found Dindim covered in oil near where he lives: a beach near Rio de Janeiro. He picked him up and cleaned him and then put him back in the sea. However, upon being released the penguin swam back to De Souza's backyard. Now Dindim will go to sea for several months – but will always come back to visit his friend.
